Configuring a Westell 6100F (Verizon DSL)

[AKAJohnDoe]

99.9% of the use will be through a wireless router/access point hardwired downstream from the Westell modem/router.

On the Westell I have already changed the:
password
IP address
DHCP addresses and range


A few questions:
Should I leave the Westell security settings or bump them up to at least minimum?
Are there any other configuration options that should be considered?
The Westell is configured in bridge mode; however, with a wireless router connected there will be NAT twice, correct? Any considerations there of which I should be aware?


I previously configured the downstream wireless router/access point to my satisfaction.

The only oddity I notice is a UDP packet coming down to my PC, through the wireless router, from the wired Modem/router. Likely DNS related, I have not really looked into it since ZoneAlarm blocks it at my PC and everything appears to be functional.

(http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6096)Hi, not sure if this helps in your case but I used instructions from this link on my bridged mode/separate router westell 6100 from bellsouth/att.
Possibly the same configuration. :)http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6096
